I've had a lot of games to download so it's been pretty good, tried uploading some 4k 60 fps footage too.

I remember back when i was living with my dad and we had 12 meg BT internet and i tried to upload a 600 meg video, took an hour and a half while now on 20 it takes less then 5 minuets. How times change from 2007 to 2016.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
There was a time when we would have said the same about even 10meg up.

Yes and we wouldn't have dreamed 15 years on it would only have doubled once.
But that's life.

Or down.
I was fortunate enough to work for ISPs during the early part of my career. When the top home product was 3Mb I could 'encourage' 18Mb out of the home connection and at work pull perhaps 30-40Mb.
When the top home product was 8Mb my office connection was such that the slowest part of it was the 100Mb switch port to my docking station.
I was fortunate enough to be fairly close to the exchange using my employer's ADSL 2+ product and had a home connection that could be encouraged to run at 22Mb down and 2.4Mb up.

15 years ago was 2001, most people were still on dialup and ADSL speeds topped out at about 512k down (assuming you could get it at all) and I think cable was maybe 768k. Don't even remember what upload was, probably 64k.
Dunno what you're trying to say, really, things have more than doubled in 15 years.
15 years from now I would expect gigabit speeds to be the norm.

Aha, "encouraged". I like that term. Let me think, 3Mbit being the top home product must be about what, 2004?

Okay. I got really drunk, was trying to download some files, and decided it would be a good idea to uncap my modem to get them faster.

Best upload speed you could get at that time without a leased line was 256k.

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
You got drunk?!!???
I always looked on you as a measure of sobriety.
"Okay. I got really drunk, was trying to download some files, and decided it would be a good idea to uncap my modem to get them faster."
Bust my bubble now,

Re: Virgin Media Homeworks 300Mb
Should we not be impressed he can do that when he is drunk? I can't pee in a straight line.
Kudos!
